Encapsulation of amphotericin B in tuftsin-bearing liposomes greatly increased its efficacy in treatment of human aspergillosis in mice. Also, the drug efficacy was significantly increased by pretreating the animals with drug-free tuftsin-bearing liposomes. These results demonstrate that macrophage activation can considerably enhance the therapeutic efficacy of antifungal drugs, like amphotericin B.
将两性霉素B包裹于携带促吞噬肽的脂质体中,可显著提高其对小鼠人类曲霉病的治疗效果。此外,用不含药物的携带促吞噬肽的脂质体预处理动物,药物疗效也显著提高。这些结果表明,巨噬细胞激活可显著增强两性霉素B等抗真菌药物的治疗效果。
